Who could have anticipated?

Oh, those airstrikes from predator drones...ALWAYS work perfectly, at least when first reported:

A U.S.-born radical cleric is alive and well following reports he may have been killed in a Yemeni airstrike against suspected al-Qaida hideouts, friends and relatives said Friday.

The utility of these strikes, whether under Bush or Obama, not to mention their morality continues to really bother me.
